Measurement & Data - Represent and interpret data.

• Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8).
• Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots.
• For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.
  • Note: This example is using line plots with fractions as data to calculate mean.
